As an Ontarian raised in Milton, living in Toronto and recreating often in areas near the proposed highway 413 and Bradford Bypass, I am opposed to these projects.

I believe they will worsen traffic in the GTA, as they will appear to justify more car-dependent living in those general area, and those added drivers will travel the existing roads to various destinations. They will also destroy and bisect precious and important natural habitats, recreation areas and agricultural land. Full environmental assessments are necessary.

We must instead focus on transit and active transport community building, where the billions of taxpayer dollars proposed for these highways would benefit all of Ontario much more.

Please cancel these proposals and most others in Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, including the ill-considered restrictions and removals of bike lanes, which I find a gross overreach into municipal governance.
